I haven't seen him since July, though we've stayed friends. We text/talk now and then, and are friends on FB. He began dating someone in September, and I was already meeting new people as well.
He and his girlfriend broke up about a month ago. I text him just a little "hi how are you doing" message this morning, and he responded. He wants to do something this weekend.
I am definitely looking forward to catching up and seeing him again. The thing is, there isn't any butterflies or emotions, just a genuine "liking" for him. We get along great, physically compatible and attracted to one another 
, totally laugh and have a good time, and it's comfortable and nice.
I'm really glad I sent the text... and at this point in my life, I'm actually more happy about hanging out with him than trying to be in a more "romantic" relationship, where there are feelings wrapped up. I don't feel like I'm cheating myself of anything by not having that, or wanting it.
Does anyone else feel that way? I guess I feel like so many friends would tell me (and have) that I should move forward and meet new people with actual relationship potential - and not just "settle" for something like this, but it doesn't feel that way to me. It feels... NICE.

Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength
